Hola--And HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, 3 days ago. Frank gave me a card that said, “For Valentine’s Day, I am quittin
g my job and moving out! …I’m leaving you with everything, so the separation should go smoothly…” Well, he really did it. (!!?!?!?) He left me with everything. It’s amazing how all I really need to function normally in this world is a house, a car, and a working computer.His flight left on Friday, after he scrambled to pack and get everything in a suitcase or a box to be shipped. He flew all night, arrived safely and was greeted by a 1-bedroom apartment and a Jeep Commander that he can use for the next few months. O
K, I didn’t know what that was either. It's a 4WD--for inclement weather, you know. Here’s a photo of a Jeep Commander, but his is a maroon color. It's kind of boxy, but it’s a Jeep, right? Boxy is a given.
His ap
artment, he says, is as close as any apartment in the complex to…you guessed it, train tracks!! Yes!! I suppose after the first week, he will know the night train schedule by heart.
In other news, David and Teresa are trying to increase their “personal best” numbers on the trampoline. They have mastered the Front Flip. Now they try to beat their own records of “How Many Front Flips In A Row Can I Land Before I Exhaust Myself?” (They can jump in between, mind you. There is no time limit and they can re-position themselves in between.) David is up to around 30, and yesterday Teresa got up to SEVENTY FRONT FLIPS. I get dizzy just thinking about it. 
Tomorrow is President’s Day. The kids have the day off of school. It is supposed to be in the low 70s and they want to go swimming.
There you have our update! (By the way, I just put "flapjacks" in the title because I like that word, and it fit with the other "FL" words. Maybe we'll make pancakes for breakfast tomorrow.)

Well, we were supPOSEd to get today off, but the snow chose otherwise - we have to attend to make up an extra snow day we took. Your kids can think of their cousins while they're sleeping in and playing as we study, study, study!
The trampoline antics made me exhausted - just reading about it! Their cousins always jump after dinner, which makes me nauseated. I must stop reacting to what others do.... Good luck to Frank! Are you puting your house on the market yet?

Oh my. I am going to have to tell "Margarita" about Teresa's acrobatics. That's pretty darn impressive!
And the Talent show dance-took me back to my 6th grade talent show. Two friends and I did a dance to a Billy Ocean song. We had sunglasses and matching Snoopy shirts. ??? Those shirts were much cuter!
Sounds like the change is beginning. Now just think about it....are you sure you really want to move away from one of the most bestest places around? I know I know, you have to do what you have to do. And all those flips? Craziness for sure.
Agreed. 'Flapjacks' is an underused word. I'm glad you chose it for today's blog because it deserves the attention.
